The goal of each plan stays the same, but the weekly structure and amount of training are adjusted around the number of days you can realistically ride.

I’d always recommend choosing the option that genuinely fits your normal week rather than simply choosing the highest number of training days.

The £59 plans are structured, pre-built programmes rather than fully personalised coaching.

You choose your training frequency, preferred training days and start date, and the plan is arranged around those details.

If you want training that changes continuously around your progress, feedback and schedule, 1-to-1 coaching is the better option.

Yes.

The structured sessions can be completed indoors or outdoors, and most key weekday sessions are designed to fit into around 60 minutes.

If you train outside, you can extend the warm-up or cool-down where needed to reach suitable roads or climbs.

Yes.

The plans are delivered through TrainingPeaks and the structured workouts can be used with compatible indoor training platforms such as Zwift.

No.

A power meter is useful for structured training, but it isn’t essential. Sessions can also be completed using heart rate and perceived effort where appropriate.

Yes.

Your plan is delivered through TrainingPeaks, but you only need a free TrainingPeaks athlete account to receive and follow it.

TrainingPeaks supports workout syncing with compatible training devices and platforms, including Garmin and Wahoo.

Exact functionality can vary depending on the device or platform you use.

Yes.

When you purchase your plan, you’ll select the days that normally work best for your schedule and I’ll arrange the TrainingPeaks calendar around them.

Yes.

You’ll choose your preferred start date when purchasing your plan.

Please allow up to 48 hours for your TrainingPeaks calendar to be set up.

1-to-1 coaching gives you an individual training programme built around your goals, fitness, experience and available training time.

Your training is delivered through TrainingPeaks and evolves as you progress, with ongoing adjustments, feedback and direct communication throughout.

1-to-1 coaching is £175 per month.

1-to-1 coaching is suitable for riders of different levels and backgrounds.

You don’t need to be an elite racer. It’s for anyone who wants more individual guidance, structure and support than a fixed training plan can provide.

No.

I work with riders preparing for races and major events, as well as riders who simply want to become fitter, stronger and more consistent on the bike.

Your coaching includes individual cycling programming through TrainingPeaks, ongoing adjustments, training feedback, direct communication, race and event preparation, testing and training zones, and strength work where appropriate.

The £59 training plans are structured six-week programmes designed for riders who want clear training without ongoing coaching.

1-to-1 coaching is built around you. Your programme can change as your fitness, goals, feedback and schedule change.

Head to the 1-to-1 Coaching page and tell me a little about your riding, current training and goals.

I’ll get back to you personally with the next steps.

The free plan is a 4-week home-based strength programme designed specifically for cyclists.

Visit the Free Training page and enter your email address.

I’ll send the programme directly to your inbox.

No. The 4-week strength plan is completely free.

Yes.

Along with the free plan, I’ll send one practical cycling coaching email each week covering training, performance and useful advice.

I’m a former professional cyclist and Tokyo 2020 Olympian with more than a decade of experience racing internationally on the road and track.

I started coaching riders in 2017 and now use that experience to help cyclists train with more structure, purpose and consistency.

No.

The training plans and coaching are designed for riders with a range of experience levels.

The most important thing is choosing the level of training and support that fits where you are now.

Of course.
